The Tunnel Film: The Stages of a Man Overcoming a Midlife Crisis

Every man, at some point in his life, will question his path.

You feel uncertain. You question your purpose. You don’t know where to turn.
And because we’ve been conditioned as men to figure it out on our own, we isolate… we grind harder… or we numb the pain with distractions.

Some people call this a midlife crisis.
I call it the Tunnel.

And let me be clear—this isn’t a crisis. This is a gift.

Because the Tunnel is the rite of passage every man must go through in order to discover his purpose.

What Is the Tunnel?

The Tunnel is that moment in your life when everything starts to feel off.
What used to drive you no longer excites you. You’ve built success, but feel empty. You might be winning on the outside but losing yourself on the inside.

This isn’t about age.
This is about evolution.

The Tunnel shows up when it’s time to let go of the Warrior—the one who built, fought, hustled—and step into the King—the man who leads with power, presence, and purpose.

The Truth About Midlife Crisis in Men

Most men never talk about it.

But deep down, they feel it:

    • You start questioning your business, your marriage, your role as a father or leader
    • You feel stuck in patterns of self-sabotage, boredom, or burnout
    • You chase temporary highs to escape the pressure
    • You silently wonder, “Is this all there is?”

But I’m here to tell you:
You’re not broken. You’re being called.

How to Overcome a Midlife Crisis the Right Way

The EDGE isn’t about motivation.
It’s a daily system to sharpen your body, mind, and spirit—to reconnect to who you truly are.

This Is Your Rite of Passage

Every man will face the Tunnel.
But not every man will find the courage to walk through it.

If you’re reading this, you’re being called to rise.

How to Make an Impact by Going Against the Grain

In this episode of the King’s Code, my special guests are members of the EDGE Inner Circle Ron McKay, Darin Garman, and Eric Delgado.
